The Fiddle Man
Written and recorded by Red Steagall
C G
He came rollin' into Cowtown in a big old double trailer diesel rig
And just as luck would have it
Well the driver let him out in front
C
Of this old beer joint where I picked
He had a worn out fiddle case he carried like a child
C7 F
Tucked beneath his arm as he walked in
C
He strolled up to the bandstand and laid a dollar down
G C
And wondered if we'd mind if he sat in
While he tuned up with the guitar
G
Well the boys all turned around and looked at me
The way that he was dressed and looked everybody thought
C
That he was some old bum who walked in off the street
Then when he drew that bow across the strings and made 'em cry
C7 F
We knew he wasn't no ordinary man
C
And when he hit a breakdown by himself to warm it up
G C
We knew we had a fiddler in our band
F
He played a good old country breakdown
C G C
Like you've never heard a breakdown played before
F
He made you feel like you're a part of Faded Love and Cheatin' Heart
D7 G
And topped it off with Rose of San Antone
F
He played a verse of Uncle Pen the crowd would roar & he'd play again
C
They bought him beer 'til he couldn't drink no more
G
We thought he'd wear his fingers off
C
Cause the only time he'd ever stop was long enough rosin up the bow
(fiddle instrumental)
